On May 2, in conjunction with the World Congress on IT 2006, The University of Texas at Austin will host panel discussions on “open source”, peer-based information sharing that was once only found in the software world. The free (yes free) workshop will cover the challenges and growing impact of open source.
I am both a (partial) organizer and speaker at this workshop. If you’re there, do stop by and say hello or introduce yourself.
For more information including directions and registration, please see the Open Source Workshop Web site
In case others are like me and wondering “What the #@$!% is the World Congress on IT” – see wcit2006.org.
Thanks Keith, having known about the WCIT before it was coming to Austin, I forget others may not have heard of it. Here is a short article in Austin’s local newspaper, the Austin American Stateman, about the upcoming WCIT.
